Abstract The myeloid neoplasms encompass acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Most cases arise from the shared ancestor of clonal hematopoiesis (CH). Here we analyze data 454,340 UK Biobank participants, whom 1,808 developed a neoplasm 0–15 years after recruitment. We describe differences in CH mutational landscapes hematology/biochemistry test parameters among individuals that later develop (pre-MN) versus controls, finding disease-specific changes are...
Population-based information on cancer incidence, prevalence and outcome are required to inform clinical practice research; but contemporary data lacking for many myeloid malignancy subtypes.Set within a socio-demographically representative UK population of ∼4 million, (N=5231 diagnoses) from an established patient cohort. Information survival (relative & overall), transformation/progression, is presented >20 subtypes.The median diagnostic age was 72.4years (InterQuartile Range 61.6-80.2),...
The fusion gene MLL/AF4 defines a high-risk subtype of pro-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Relapse can be associated with lineage switch from to myeloid leukemia, resulting in poor clinical outcomes caused by resistance chemotherapies and immunotherapies. In this study, the relapses shared oncogene breakpoints their matched lymphoid presentations originated various differentiation stages immature progenitors through committed B-cell precursors. Lineage switching is linked substantial changes...
Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is a recently described autoinflammatory disorder with little therapeutic evidence. We compared treatment outcomes of targeted therapies versus prednisolone alone in the largest UK cohort patients VEXAS to date. In this retrospective study, we analysed six tertiary referral centres across between July 22, 2014, and Oct 19, 2024. The inclusion criteria were genetically confirmed receipt at least one therapy or alone....
Determining the underlying cause of persistent eosinophilia is important for effective clinical management but remains a diagnostic challenge in many cases. We identified STAT5B N642H, an established oncogenic mutation, 27/1715 (1.6%) cases referred investigation eosinophilia. Of 27 mutated cases, working diagnosis hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES; n = 7) or myeloid neoplasm with (n 20) had been made prior to detection N642H. Myeloid panel analysis median 2 additional genes (range 0–4) 4...
Objective To assess the prevalence of MYD 88 L265P mutation and variants within NLRP 3 evaluate status oligoclonal hematopoiesis in 30 patients with Schnitzler syndrome (SchS). Methods Thirty SchS were recruited from clinical centers. Six known acquired cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndromes ( aCAPS ) included as controls. Allele‐specific oligonucleotide–polymerase chain reaction was used for detection variant, next‐generation sequencing applied to analyze 28 genes associated...

Advancements in comprehending myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) have unfolded significantly recent years, elucidating a myriad of cellular and molecular underpinnings integral to disease progression. While inclusions into prognostic models substantively advanced risk stratification, revelations emphasized the pivotal role immune dysregulation within bone marrow milieu during MDS evolution. Nonetheless, immunotherapy for has not experienced breakthroughs seen other malignancies, partly...
Summary The precise link between inflammation and pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is yet to be fully established. We developed a novel method measure ASC/NLRP3 protein specks which are specific for the NLRP3 inflammasome only. combined this with cytokine profiling characterise various inflammatory markers in large cohort patients lower risk MDS comparison healthy controls defined autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs). were significantly elevated compared ( p < 0.001) these...
Objectives: We theorized that myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with somatic mutations and karyotype abnormalities are associated autoinflammation, the presence of autoinflammatory disease affected prognosis in MDS. Methods: One hundred thirty-four MDS patients were assessed for prevalence complications its link karyotypes mutation status. Autoinflammatory described either as well-defined diseases (AD) or undifferentiated “autoinflammatory disease” (UAD) (defined CRP over 10.0 mg/L on five...
